Description:Crucial to the fulfillment of any association's mission is active and ongoing communication among members. For this reason, the organizations most primed for CoP implementation--and those that stand to reap the greatest benefits--are associations. As both social and strategic entities, CoPs are increasingly becoming the mechanism for how associations deliver the promised value to their members. In his latest book, based on the results of a 2005 survey conducted jointly by APQC and Fusion Productions and scores of CoP projects with clients, CoP expert Wesley Vestal details the numerous benefits associations stand to gain from a CoP initiative and provides a practical guide to the design, implementation, and maintenance of CoPs. Communities of Practice and Associations: How to Build and Sustain Effective Communities in Your Associations describes how some associations have successfully deployed CoPs to the membership and features survey statistics including average initial budgets, staff resource investments, and how much time CoP members spend fulfilling their roles. In addition to a step-by-step explanation of APQC's Communities of Practice Framework, complete with tools, tips, and checklists, this new book leverages years of CoP research and best practices from the KM authority and offers insight into the successes and challenges of associations that have already begun their CoP intiatives.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
